Year 12s prepare for their final weeks

Focussed on success

Over the first two days of the term, the majority of senior students have been reporting two things: they loved their break, but really didn’t have one. Coupled with individual study and the formal ‘Connect Session’ over the second week of the holidays, many students have continued with the way they started; with focus and intent. We do hope they  had the opportunity to recharge and get ready to push through for remainder of the year. 

Our exam supervisors reported at the end of Term 3 that the cohort’s approach to the experience was fantastic. It is really important that the lessons learnt, both academic and experiential from these exams are considered and inform preparation over the next few weeks.  The same consideration needs to undertaken with the revision lectures that ran over the holiday period and will continue to run in class time. 

The message to our senior students as they approach the end of year is to make every day count. This means  being  in classes on time, every time, wearing the correct school uniform and making the most of study periods. We know from experience that if you take care of the routine things and are successful in implementing, they are the preconditions for success in the final few weeks. This can be a stressful time for students so we encourage you to get in contact with the Year Level Program Leaders if you have any concerns. 

We have some important dates coming up for our Year 12s as we move through exams and mark the end of their high school experience.  These include:

Thursday, October 19                     Final Day of formal classes

Monday, October  23                       Year 12 Farewell Breakfast

Thursday, October 26                      Year 12 Graduation

The Final Breakfast is one that students and teachers enjoy every year and is a landmark event in the lives of our Year 12s. There are high expectations around behaviour and organisation to ensure that the event is a positive celebration of the Year 12's achievements.

Teachers run revision sessions with Unit 3/4 classes at their regularly scheduled time for the two weeks preceding each exam. We expect all students undertaking 3/4 subjects to make use of this resource, as well as committing to a disciplined individual study program. 

We look forward to celebrating the many and varied achievements of all of our Year 12s over the coming months.
